Oh, that Pam Anderson, always finding a way to put herself in the news when she feels no one’s staring at her anymore. Seems she’s gone off the deep end and has demanded that a bust of Colonel Sanders be removed from the state Capitol. Her jealousy raging over those succulent breasts with 11 secret herbs and spices, I can only imagine that she and the rest of the people backing this action are demanding separation of chicken and state (ba doom ching). She claims the bust is a “monument to cruelty.” How ironic, considering her bust is the exact same thing given how many times it’s changed over the years.

Actually, in this case, I’m half-tempted to sell the set I already own and buy this bad boy, which includes FOURTEEN DVDs. You’re looking at all 5 original “Apes” movies, the Tim Burton remake from a few years ago, the fourteen episodes of the “Planet of the Apes” TV series, and – for the first time ever on DVD – all thirteen episodes of the Saturday morning cartoon, “Return to the Planet of the Apes.” Hell, I never even SAW the cartoon!
Plus…it comes packaged like this:
Of course, even as a pre-order through Amazon, it’s still gonna be $125.99, so I’d have to take out a small loan to be able to afford it…and since I can’t conceive of anyone else in the country willing to sit through a marathon (though I do know a fellow in Saskatchewan who wouldn’t require much arm-twisting), it may never make it into my collection. Dammit.
Firing a shot across the Establishment’s bow, indie auteur Steven Soderbergh intends to broadcast his new movie, “Bubble,” on high-definition TV the same day it comes out in theaters (January 27), and release it on DVD just four days later. As a result, most major movie chains have refused to carry the film, not wishing to support a product that will appear in competing formats simultaneously.
Soderbergh is just giving people what they want…but that doesn’t mean the Hollywood Powers That Be won’t still try to make an example of him for messing with their revenue model.
Soderbergh’s plan is a victory for everyone who can’t make it to the movie theater as often as they would like (parents of young children, for example), or who have grown disillusioned with the rude behavior of their moviegoing peers. Under Soderbergh’s model, no one will have to wait weeks or months to view a new movie in the comfort of their own home, if that is how they would prefer to view it.
Will this model shrink the total revenue pie for movies released in this fashion? Most likely. Is it still a good idea? Yes, as long as the producers don’t mind giving up that revenue and alienating their distribution partners in the process.
Does Soderbergh stand a very good chance of being fitted for concrete shoes by the boys in the projection booth? Certainly not. Those union men are known to be delightfully easy to reason with, and not the least bit prone to violent outbursts of temper.
But Steve, you might want to bring a pair of water wings to that premiere, just in case.
In what may go down as the second worst weekend of 2006 (we’re saving that special #1 spot for February 10th), this week’s film release schedule is a smorgasbord of variety. There’s the urban comedy (“Last Holiday“), the once-a-year Disney sports drama (“Glory Road“), and the teenage romance “Tristan & Isolde.” I still don’t know why they’re marketing that movie as a “Romeo & Juliet”-esque romance when it’s clearly more like the King Arthur love triangle than anything else.
Also out this week are award hopefuls “The Libertine” and “The New World,” that is, if they don’t get bumped another five months.
After a month and a half hiatus, the show came back strong, opening with an old-fashioned ass-whupin’ outside of the church. It was compelling to see the support group with such a violent pack mentality, which has Mariel and even the Father questioning how much the group has changed.
Russell is finally as concerned about the “hybrids” as Dave is and, as a result, the show is picking up steam, ending with Sheriff Tom kidnapping the children after making an eerie phone call to an unknown accomplice. This, after the last episode featured Tom convincing his deputy to saw his own arm off. I wasn’t expecting either of these twists and I can honestly say I have no idea where the show is going next – and man, do I like that feeling.
